About Pure Life Homecare
Pure Life Homecare provides support in people's own homes in Whitstable and the surrounding part of Kent. We work with a wide range of adults and we do not expect everybody to want the same thing from us. We support older people, people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss. We also support people living with eating disorders and people affected by alcohol or drug misuse, and younger adults make up a good part of our work. In the more sensitive areas of what we do, our approach is practical and it is not moralising. Somebody working to change their circumstances needs stability, straightforward help and people who do not disappear when a week goes badly. Where food is difficult, we take our lead from the person and from the clinical team around them rather than improvising. Across all of it, continuity is the thing we guard. The same carers going to the same households is how trust forms, and trust is what makes everything else possible. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you would like to talk about support at home, please get in touch.
